I think something is drastically wrong with the buddy challenge! Mine has been showing the machine and spinning since Monday, Dec 31. So no new levels or challenges for weeks now. Maybe part of the hold up was due to the two holidays, but this is taking very long. I have not seen anyone post that they have received any new levels past 4295. Correct me if that is incorrect.

I have been playing this since March of 2017 so I've spun the wheel around 660 times. All things being equal, I should have won the jackpot 80 or so times, but I've only managed it 3 times... so of course its rigged.

On my phone I am stuck at 4265 and have won the buddy challenge twice now with a total of 13 win streak and it will not progress beyond 4265. On my desktop it has been on 4221 for weeks and will not sync with my phone to update. I think Candy Crush is done. Sad to say. Now what do we do with all of our boosters and gold bars??????? Very frustrating.

I am still stuck at 4265 on my phone with no numbers on the path after 4220 and win 10 never updated beyond 4221 although the path shows i havent complete when in fact I have. I am not paying to advance yet again. I have been plahing for fun and stuck at 4223. Rudi came back (what is Rudi anyway???) and also some gold wrapped packages which id you mathc them several times they give you a party booster . Happened twice but still not enough to advance to next level. I do believe i am losing interest after several years, but love all the chat!!!

So, like Sprinkles (congrats to you Sprinkles) I got the Jackpot today for the second time in all the years I have been playing. No new levels. So we just have to wait and see what happens. We got far ahead of the game. Maybe we weren't supposed to be able to do that, but our Ditte found a way to surge ahead. So, ahead we all went. I can switch buddies easily, but can go no further than 4265. On phone its 4221. Enjoying the break, reading, and sleeping more:) Have fun being CC free. OC

Still no new levels, but there has been an update. Before there were no sugardrop levels between 4219 and 4295. Lots of them now. But I can still play 4295 over and over for sugardrops as if I hadn't passed it. When I pass it I can play for sugardrops again. If I don't I can collect sugardrops again, if I close and open the app. And the level I'm given extra moves for is still 4295, not 4296. Have a nice weekend. Mine has just started :-)

Ditte, I have noticed all the same things you noted. However, I don't understand what you mean when you say you are given extra moves. I don't think I get extra moves except when I play for the space dash, but those moves can be used for any level. So I don't get what you mean when you talk about extra moves that are supposed to go to the next level. OC

Well everyone it is a sad day for me. I uninstalled App 10 because I wasn't getting the sugar drops and when I reinstalled it put me back to 4221! Just like S. Just like the FB version. Sleepless is at that level on the trail although I know he has passed to 4295 like I had done. I have contacted support, but I don't think they will be able to do much. I just don't want to do the levels again. Stupid of me to uninstall but I haven't had a problem before with the game not saving levels. We probably shouldn't have been able to get all those new levels. However, before that happened, all the numbers were on my path. I'll let you know what support says. OC

Oh I'm sorry for you OC. You've worked so hard to catch up and are now put back. I haven't given extra moves to others for a long time. It's not a feature in the windows 10 app. I couldn't find it on my phone either. But when I opened CC on king.com, where I sometimes played before win 10 it was there. I was asked to give extra moves to friends stuck on a level. Something was wrong though because the levels they are stuck on are far too low. How it works is if you've been on the same level for (3?) days friends can give you 3 extra moves for that level. You can find them in the envelope/your messages where you also get lives from friends. It says something like " you've got help. X has given you extra moves for level XXXX. And I should get extra moves for level 4296, not 4295 which I have already passed.

Well there is hope. Support contacted me this morning and said they could restore me to 4280 and that that was the highest level of CC. We all know that is not quite true but I'll take it!! They said I will have to forfeit all my three stars for two stars and get an average score for all the levels. Stars don't really bother me and scores don't either and so I will just have to complete 15 levels to catch up rather than 75 so I might keep going. Interesting that they won't take me to the full 4295. I didn't explain to them how I managed to get that far along;) I just accepted their offer. I will let you know if it happens and when I am back and if in fact I can go on by switching buddies to get back to my 4295. Have fun CC friends. OC

They restored me to 4280 however I only lost stars and points from 4220 to 4280 not the entire game AND I can switch buddies so I did and I am able to move forward..... so there are more levels as we all know .... they just didn't restore them all for me. Those last levels were pretty difficult as I recall... well I probably will try to do them again.... since none of us can go further yet. Have fun all... and S come on contact support from the link that is on the side of this blog and see what they can do for you. They get back to you VERY quickly if you try the link from this site. OC

Congratulations, OC! I am glad they restored most of your levels! I am still sitting at 4295 on Windows 10. I started replaying all the levels on my android since they weren't syncing and have completed through 4265. They were all somewhat easier this time through. Interesting note...I didn't hit the switch buddy after 4265 because I was done for the day. However, I just started playing today and my buddy is searching for a new buddy. I think it has a life of its own... -mg

They really should have put you forward to 4295, but 4280 is better than nothing. Maybe we're trespassing in 4281-4295 even though there are numbers on the path. There are no sugardrop levels there other than 4295, which can still be played again and again.

I'm thinking that they only have the levels ready to 4280 so can only restore to that level. So perhaps we will get new levels this week if they release two episodes. If not we will probably have to wait another week. I am at 4289 and gotta stop for the day. I get a sugar pop for every level:) I am just hammering and switching my way through to catch up. Easier this time around. What a pain though...of course it is my own stupidity for uninstalling so I only have myself to blame and it was pretty good of them to restore me. Hope S is reading this so that S can get the levels restored too. As for the buddy switch, I found that if I hit the buddy switch, and then the backpack and then go out of the game and come back in the switch will pop up... seems to be quicker to change buddies... not sure if that is really helping... but it seems to be. Sleepless it is interesting that I can only see you on the trail to 4235 now so your avitar moved to the FB level. Sleepless is the only friend I have at the high levels. I wonder why that is. Hope it all sorts soon. Enjoy the day folks. OC

Ha ha Sleepless I was wondering where you saw me.... it is crazy.... I liked it when we were chasing each other on the trail! Oh well... at least I now only have six levels to catch up AGAIN! OK company has left , I ruined the pasta... stupid gluten free ones and they absorbed all the sauce so quickly.... but that is another story ... so I am back to the challenge of getting to 4295 AGAIN BIG SIGH!!!@Q! OC

Thanks Luci, DM, Sleepless Ditte, mg and anyone else who noticed my self inflicted ordeal. CJ I don't know what is up with your trials and tribs, but it wouldn't hurt to let support know about your problems. I used the help link on the left of the home page on this site. My experience does tell us, I think, that they are not decided on the way the last 15 levels will play. I think they were a little different when I played them again. Anyway, I would bet money that 4280 - 4295 will be available on Wednesday as signed and sealed and perhaps we will be able to buddy switch forward to the next episode. However, if they don't release a trial run for us front runners we will have to wait yet another week. Fun to predict isn't it? OC

This is my first comment here, but wanted to let everyone know I have new levels from 4296-4310. Thanks so much for all the great tips and comments. It is the only way I would have been able to progress thus far. JH

So far no new levels for me even with the buddy switch and I even tried completing level 4295 yet AGAIN:( So, no going on for me. Where are you from JH? Maybe time differences? I'm from Pacific Northwest. OC

4296-4310 done. 4296 needed hands and hammers to get rid of waffles, 4302 a bit difficult. The UFOs didn't always target the jelly. I used a fish for 4306 and also a couple of hands and hammers for 4307. Good luck!

My game wont advance via the buddy switch to 2496 so I guess when they restored me the game is still messed up for me. I was able to go to 2495 with the switch but now the game is stuck at that level and wont advance. Have fun frustrated here OC

Well I contacted support again and when I came back into my game I am now advanced to 4296 and all seems updated and I can see you at the end of the trail for this episode Sleepless! Now I gotta go to work so you guys will all be way ahead of me by tonight! OC

4311-4325 done. In 4311 it worked better to start with a wrap/wrap (I had an extra from the buddy challenge) over the chocolate than with a cb/cb. In 4313 the top blocker can be difficult to get unless you've got a wrap next to it. In 4318 I had better luck just starting with a colourbomb instead of the full christmas stocking. In 4319 I needed a few hammers to get the last keys. In 4321 again the stocking didn't seem to help. And finally for 4323 I used a couple of hammers to get the licoricecovered jelly in the bottom left. Good luck!

Finally got to sit down and play. So far, 4300, 4303, 4307, and 4313 have been the most challenging. Right now, 4314 seems to be in a do-forever loop. I guess I will need to exit and start again on that level. -mg

Luci, when my windows 10 was searching for a buddy, I left it open and opened up on my android. It found a buddy immediately even though windows 10 was still searching. I shut down both android and windows 10 at that point. When I reopened windows 10, the new buddy showed up and I moved on to 4311. Good luck. -mg

Thanks mg for the suggestion. My buddy has not appeared in over 3 weeks and has constantly been spinning unless I turn that feature off. When I turn it back on it still just spins or says loading. I have tried every way I know how on Win 10 app and facebook and android but no change. Never loads a buddy. I have updated all devices and still nothing.

Luci I know it sounds dumb but have you tried clicking the backpack and then the wheel a few times? And then back again. Support told me when I told them that some friends were advancing and my game seemed stuck at 4295 that the studio was aware of some people moving forward but they were not supposed to be able to do that!! So thanks to our brave leader we marched on to territory not supposed to be explored... well the game let us so that's just puzzling things out in my mind.... anyways... they said that they were keeping an eye on the situation and that they were working on it whatever that means... probably going to try to stop it. So there you have it... they know about our workaround and they are working on it. Have a great day everyone... I am on 4306 and off to work I go before I am late.... OC

One last note for the day... it is interesting that after I contacted support about stuck progress that my game magically opened at 4296 without the buddy like someone else report. So, Luci, I agree with Ditte that you should contact support and let them know you are stuck and so what happens. OC

Thank you "all" for the suggestions.. I did contact support yesterday and they said that there are more people who are experiencing this problem and they thought they had fixed this whole problem with the Dynamic Duo a few weeks ago. They said that they will look into it. That is not very encouraging to me though.

Is 4325 the current highest level? After weeks of being stuck at 4265 on my iPad (with being forced to redo levels 4221 and up on windows 10), I’ve finally been able to go on and just finished 4325. Weird though, it dropped me to one star and obviously fake scores on the episode starting at 4221. And, it won’t sync my levels higher than 4221 on all my other devices. So in order to play on anything other than my iPad, I would have to redo all those levels! Be careful of level 4314, I got stuck in a never ending loop twice and had to shut the app down. Finally beat it by not doing a CB/CB combo.

In 4330 I had to use 5 hammers to get the last jellies and yellows. Unfortunately the checkmarkbooster is not an option.

4333 needs a lot of luck. Bombs are locked in by evil spawners and when I finally managed to get the spawners lots and lots of bombs fell. I don't think I tried with a cb/cb. I got it by hitting the spawners with the stripe/wrap from the stocking and then used a hand to set up a colourbomb/wheel which took out the spawners.

In 4334 I just made "pointless" moves until the first batch of fruit fell and had gotten past the frog and then used the boosters from the stocking. Just ignore the frog. Can't do much about it anyway. It's yellow, but there are no yellow candies. If you use the colourbombs and/or wrap/stripe before the fruit is on the board they're pretty much wasted.

For 4336 I suggest you use a checkmarkbooster. Without it you have to clear both cakes and the spawners before you can grow chocolate and it's difficult to grow enough because it blocks candies from falling and it doesn't seem to grow without candies next to it. With the checkmarkbooster it was easy. Good luck.

I'm stuck at 4349, waiting for lives. 4341-4343 seemed a bit difficult. It took me a couple of tries to figure 4349 out. I always forget that you can match a candy with jellycovered candies. You need to match a yellow stripe with jellycovered yellows to get fruit sideways through the exits. I wasted lives trying to remove the jelly without destroying the yellow stripes. I almost had it the last time, but the third fruit kept falling down just before it reached the yellows/the exit. Maybe I needed the last keys to unlock waffles to hold up the fruit. Not sure if you should start with a full stocking or maybe just with the 3 extra moves. My last try was without boosters from the stocking. You should definately NOT switch two colourbombs!

Ditte, I am also stuck on 4349. The keys aren't dropping fast enough for the third fruit. My best results were with no stocking but I probably need to go in with at least 3 extra moves. The other alternative is to hand switch the third fruit with the lower level waffle, but I don't have a hand right now. I will have to come back later with full lives...and maybe a hand. -mg

4341-4355 done. Not a fun episode. Needs lots of boosters. 4351 is classified as nightmarish and it really is. Lots and lots of multilayered waffles blocking the fruit. When I finally came sort of close, I used some of my sugardrop goldbars to buy a set of extra moves and used hands to move the fruit down. 4352 and 4355 also difficult. I'm pretty sure 4349 and 4351 will be changed/made easier at some point. Good luck, you'll need it.

Finished up to 4355. Be careful not to use the CB CB combo on 4353, I tried twice and ended up with a stuck piece of fruit. Lucked out this episode, I had both the stocking and the bot, so 4 of everything! Made it a lot easier to get the magic CB CB combo.

Crushing Warriors: 4361 seems to have a glitch! Two ingredients remain in the fenced box and need the waffle dispenser in there to help it out. I managed to get them out only once in a dozen tries. Then I was swamped by multilayered waffles above the exits on lower right and left. Even used UFOs but ran out of time & didn't have enough gold bars to buy extra moves. It would take about 10 hammers to win that game so gave up. Can anyone take a look and see how one can beat it! Thx Misty

Well look at you all moving along so nicely. I just stopped by to let you know that support never got back to me. I left a question on King Care Community and that question was answered and said they would look into it. Then I sent an email to support but all I got back from them was a robot letter from Anna. I sent a reply to her letter but no response. I have not advanced since December so I cannot play anymore. Just stuck now, so until I get help from King or I get the Duo back and it works I am done. Best of luck crushing everyone.

Luci I am so sorry that you can't advance. MG, yes I did uninstall and reinstall and the last time I did that was when I ran into trouble and it put me back to 70 levels below what I had achieved. However, support fixed all but 15 levels. Now I can move forward but am stuck at 4307 so way behind and getting tired of the difficult levels. I think they are making them difficult to make us pay.... So, Luci since you are stuck anyway it might be worth a shot to uninstall and reinstall and see what happens. Support was successful for me. Hopefully this will resolve for you... OC

Way too many waffles so far in 4356-4370! I got through 4358 by starting with a colourbomb/stripe. Then got a colourbomb/wrap, unfortunately not enough candies the colour of the wrap inside the fences. I came as close as I think I would get and used hammers to finish. Then 4361. Waffles waffles waffles and they're difficult to hit because of all the fruit. Once I removed most of the waffles before hitting the candy swirl holdning in the fruit, but then I just got a new set of waffles pouring out. I don't think there is a glitch. The fruit can come out. It's just very very difficult. I wonder what happens if you remove the threelayered candyswirl in the top? Not that that's doable when all the fruit and waffles are in the way.

Get boosters? Are we talking about collecting sugardrops or loading up the stocking? For the stocking the easiest way is to play level 606 on your phone so you don't have to scroll back and then have it transfer to the W10 app. I don't know which new levels are good for sugardrops. Of the old levels 1476, 906 and 666 are the best. I don't know if it's still the case, but when I played on King.com the sugardrops were doubled, if you passed the level, so 1476 alone could give you 80-90 sugardrops. A while after the road ended on king.com (level 25XX?) the boosters I had there were transfered to the win10 app. If they still transfer it would be a lot quicker to collect the 180 sugardrops there.

Argh!!! 4361 is a very frustrating level! I'm getting nowhere. Boosters including the coconutwheel aren't of much help. Plenty of wheels fall, but they end up between waffels and fruit with no place to go. No room on the board because of all the fruit, so it's just pointless move after pointless move.

Yes I did. Used lots of boosters and I depleted my stash. Wait for timing to get all ingredients from box onto the open. Then blast those waffles with hammers....lots of them. Use an UFO if you have one. Ditte you are right. There is no glitch. Happy crushing until you get to it. My

I've sort of given up on 4361, but since we're way ahead of the usual Wednesday releases it probably won't be changed/made easier any time soon. I do have the hammers to get through it, but am not happy about using that many on a single level, but at some point I'll probably give in instead of waiting for it to be changed, which I'm sure it will be, since it's impossible without lots of hammers/hands. I have more hands than hammers, so maybe I'll use some of them to move the waffles and fruit. 4359 is classified as difficult, but that was pretty easy. Should have been 4358 instead.

4361 Nightmare... I can't finesse or booster the final fruit out of each box. I have no waffles dropping down to help "move" them, so they get stuck in the corner with no way to get them out that I have figured out. -mg

You need one waffle from the dispenser to join the lonely ingredient. Even a hammer at the dispenser won't help. If you are lucky and your coconut wheel lands in the box then you are in luck. I had 2 pinata while playing when the ribbon bows appeared. Still can't get the ingredients out. Took me over two days to figure out how to move the last ingredient into the main board. Then you are faced with all the waffles at the bottom blocking the exits. Yikes....i am glad i killed it! That is your challenge as you can't blast the ingredients out of the fenced boxes. My

4361...still stuck... Has anyone that has played that level noticed the candy ribbons at the top center of the boxes? Have you managed to knock out all 3 ribbons? What happens when those ribbons are gone? -mg

Yes I noticed them. I just called them candyswirls. No I haven't managed to remove them. Once I hit one of them twice and I tried with a hammer to get the last one just to see, what would happen, but a hammer didn't work on it.

On a different note, my android and windows 10 are now both at 4361! Android had been stuck at 4265 for a long time. I changed buddies on my android and it opened up a new episode. After playing a few levels, the entire episode showed completed. I changed buddies again and it sent me directly to 4361! Crazy.

I’ve been bummed that I haven’t been able to get new levels past 4355 because it’s been searching for a new buddy for me for more than 2 days. Then I see the frustrations that people are having with 4361, and am thinking it’s good because I’d probably deplete my supply of boosters.

Progressing slowly. Made it to 4325. Moving with Buddy but only when the time for the next Buddy round becomes available. So, I have to wait. Good thing as many of these levels are tough. Support wanted a screen shot showing that my Buddy switch was not available to me. I think they have taken off the Buddy switch and wanted to confirm that I in fact did not have it. (they didn't say that, I am guessing). I sent it to them. Nothing to lose at this point since I don't have the switch and who knows they might fix it for me.... ha ha... some hope right? Congrats Ditte and all you fast trackers. Thanks for all the tips... certainly couldn't be just 40 behind the mighty super hero warriors without the tips. Have a great one. OC

4361...thoughts...I believe the only time waffles or wheels drop from the boxes are when you are working lower on a specific side of the area. I have now managed to get the fruit out but still haven't gotten them off the bottom through all the waffles. If you can cut through the 3 ribbons/stripes at the top center of each box, candies fall down that help populate the box. I am still trying to pass this level. -mg

Hi allWell since my groundhog days I have just been taking it easy, accepting I'm not allowed to catch up with you again. I am now stuck at 4310 which I think is the top level open for "normal" people. I did contact customer support but got into and endless loop with robotic Anna, then eventually a real person contacted me but said they couldn't see that I had ever been higher and so there was nothing they could do. I will use your tip when I get that far. S

4361 -- If you use a coconut wheel and one happen to be in the box with the last ingredient, then wait for it to be at the opening and use a hammer or switch to get it out of box. OR as Ditte said clear the curly fence at the very top of both boxes to let waffles and candies populate the box to help the last ingredient out. Once they are out and you have enough moves left, then you concentrate on opening up the exits. It is blocked by multilayered waffles. Use a couple of UFOs to open-up those waffles above the exits and then whatever is left you need to use hammers and switches. There is no going back at this stage. Have at least 8 moves left before you start using all your precious good boosters. A full BOT or DASH will help to get ingredients out except for the one in each box. Then you have 1 sitting in each box staring at you. Once those 2 stubborn drop, then the bottom part is all blocked with ingredients and you cannot move. Like Ditte did, you can take ingredients to side with switches and the last few waffles you just need to hammer away. Good luck. My

S, the backpack is located on the right side of the screen when you are looking at the numbered path. There are 3 icons, the backpack, the spin wheel, and the gold cup. The backpack has your current number of all boosters and lives when you open it. It shows your "Inventory". -mg

Good to see you posting again S. The backpack didn't work for what I thought it did... clicking on it to get the Buddy Switch to happen... not a reliable glitch. Anyway, I think they are getting rid of the Buddy Switch although our top rankers here still have it I think. I am able to move forward by opening a new buddy challenge when I have completed the episode. However, I am way behind now too. The levels are very difficult. OC

I think a lucky board is when you get the opportunity to get all the fruit out of the boxes. Being able to get them out the exits without using lots and lots of hammers/hands would be a miracle. I don't know about the UFOs. I wasn't able to get them from level 2000 because I'm not on Facebook.

Luci I feel your pain, my buddy has also been spinning for about a week now I too have stopped/reset feature on 3 devices but it's still spinning. It's very annoying to see some people with new levels all the time and we're just waiting and waiting......

I do have something called "space race". Right now it's about collecting green candies, sometimes it's stars, stripes or other things. I have gotten prizes from it, but never a UFO. I've only had the 3 from when they were introduced, one from level 2000, and I think we got one from level 4000 as well.

Luci I totally agree with you about some going on easily and others stuck and waiting. I contacted support about the buddy switch no longer a feature in my game and was told that it is a trial feature and trial features can be taken away as they test their features. This makes no sense to me and it is so annoying and frustrating. I will never spend another dime on this game. They are so stupid to upset loyal players... oh well.... I probably should do something else anyway. Feeling mad. OC

Unknown and OC thanks for the kind words. I have seen on the King Community that other players are having the same problem and other problems also with the Dynamic Duo/Buddy. I am totally frustrated and now angry and cannot stop the spinning on my Buddy so therefore cannot switch, advance through that challenge. I contacted support so many times by email but never get a human response. I give up! I am not alone in this problem so now I wait until it gets fixed. I have tried on Win 10 app, facebook, android phone and tablet and all do the same thing....spin. I have installed and uninstalled apps but nada. I wish this game were fair for all players and have heard many complaints about that but King seems to do these tests and all our hands are tied as to who will get tested. It is just a game not a race so I can wait. I have thousands of boosters I have acquired from not using any for weeks, maybe I'll get to use them some day. Have fun ya'll and thanks for keeping in touch, you are a great group of warriors (friends).

MG -- glad you got that lucky board and got thru 4361. Luci -- so sorry to hear about your spinning wheel but don't give up. It will get fixed so check daily and one day the Buddy is going to appear if KING has not got rid of it by then. Buddy Challenge was to tempt players to play and then when there are no "new" levels, players just sit and twiddle thumb! Now we are all collecting boosters while waiting....so happy waiting....if that is the correct address. My

Has anyone tried the party booster on 4361? Or do you know if it clears those three ribbon cage doors? Just thinking that the only way to win this level may be to try to get those top cage doors to open. I have over a 100 gold bars from the sugar drops, so I could buy two but don’t want to do it if they don’t clear the cage doors.

I have the Buddy thing but the NO switch version since they decided to take that feature away from me. My theory is that they do that to see if players will PAY to catch up. I have done that in the past ... like bought the pig or bought hammers. Obviously, they don't care about their players just their pockets. So, I might play, might collect boosters, but I will definitely be way behind because I am not paying to play forward any more. OC

Atlast done with 4361, and that too without using hammers and 1 hand. Used 2 UFOs in the end to clear the waffles, thanks to the tips above. Mother of 4, I haven't tried party booster but read in a comment above that hammers dont work on those swirls. So not sure about party booster. And I did manage to clear swirls on 1 box. The opening lets candies fall, 1 with each move. DM

Finally did 4361! I lucked out and those magical candies with bows showed up. Along with a full stocking and a coconut wheel, I was able to get the top cages open. Regular candies fall through these. Working carefully at the top, you can get enough extra candies to move the last two around the cages (igpf you work underneath, they just keep falling through). I used two hands at the end to get the last two candies out. Phew!

OC, your comment made me laugh 😆. Hardly “skill” when the only way to win a level is with pure luck like I had. 4361 is one of those annoying levels where skill has absolutely nothing to do with it. I did go through about half of my stash of coconut boosters. Those are ones that I rarely use though, so no biggie.

Made it through to 4340. I thought it was pretty easy... but then I have the benefits of all the great hints here. Also, since they make me wait in between episodes it gives me time to collect boosters. Aren't they dumb? LOL....OC

OC I see your Buddy advanced you to another episode. At least you have that option where it still works I have nothing. I have not advanced at all and I am tired of sitting at the same level. I need to find another game to play.

Well done OC and all who passed 4361. Sorry about your situation Luci. I am stucked at 4361 and don’t have enough hammers to clear through. Will pause to get more boosters. Was given a UFO and with a hammer cleared 4358, which was also difficult.

Sleepless, you dont necessarily need hammers for 4361. I passed it without using any. Fortunately I had 2 UFOs which I used at the end to clear the waffles, once all the fruit was out. Start with a full stocking and wait for a lucky board. GOOD LUCK. DM

For those of you still doing sugar drops, I just discovered level 1828. You usually score between 20 and 25 drops and you always pass the level. The best part is you get to do it twice. No doubt some of you knew about this level but for those who didn't, it'll be a real help.

OC, you can get free UFOs by winning the space race. It’s an almost weekly race to get the most color bombs. If you place 1st, you get a couple of free boosters including a UFO. I think you may have to connect through Facebook to get it though?

OC, I have no clue, just suddenly saw it but could be as motherof4 said I won the space race once. DM as you would know I have no UFO at the mom just 3 hammers and 3 hands. 4361 just not possible without UFO or party boosters.I'll have to wait. Played over 15 times with full stockings and wheel without success. grrrr.

I too am caught up in this ghost mode thing. iPhone/iPad were out of sync. Played thru Facebook (intrusive) got all together again. Then I read just play with the “Kingdom” orange button when you open the game. So... logged outta FB on both devices then played both thru the kingdom... that synced up everything (@least King only has access to my email, where FB, well we all know bout that train wreck).

Only problem now is phone has stocking/Bot & iPad doesn’t. Any ideas how to get it?

Stuck on level 4285, cookie is back @ 4278 with no advice tips. Anybody??

4285... Start with cb/cb. Focus on clearing the lower right corner, and the hitting those keys. Once the keys open the upper right corner, use multiple stripe/wrap combos from the lower right corner to clear the waffles. Don't mess with the chocolate too much, just enough to use that area if you run out of moves in the lower right corner. -mg

I tried playing on king.com for the first time in a long time. I can't believe how slow it is. I don't think I passed any of the levels, so I don't know if the sugardrops are still doubled. I tried 1828, but it was still a timed level, not easy especially not when the candies moved in slow motion. So the levels there don't seem to be updated. Still lots of timed levels.

Does anyone remember a level from way back where Cookie's advice was "do nothing"? It was a timed level and when the time ran out it triggered wraps that finished off the level. Just curious to see if its still a timed level or what it looks like now.

Ditte, On the topic of Space Race again, the first round does rotate through different items such as green candies and strips. Once I have completed that, the game sends me to round 2 of the Space Race, which collects colorbombs. Does your version move to a second round? -mg

Maybe. Today it started with me having to collect 50 green candies. Once I did that I got a lollipop and now it's about collecting red candies for the next 93 hours and 30 minutes. I'm at the "Chocoplanet" (don't know if I've translated it correctly).

Choco Planet is the 2nd planet in the series. I am at the top level planet, which is Popsicle Planet. The 2nd round of collecting items may change based on the level you are at. I would work on getting to the top planet and staying there. I think you need to be in first place each time. The reward for collecting the most items on Popsicle Planet are 4 different boosters and about 6 hours of unlimited play with 2 other type of boosters. I can't remember what all of them are at this time. One of the 4 boosters is a UFO. I try to stay in first place each week just to get the UFO. -mg

So do you guys not have any more new levels? I made it to 4355 but no switch buddy available nor do I have the space dash. Support told me I am in the control group with no space dash.... oh lucky me! So, I won't be spending money. I made it with sugar drop boosters to 4355 but really frustrating that I don't have the space dash or the buddy switch. Good luck every one OC

I have a new thing called "Candy Constellations" in my events area under the gold cup. Do any of you have that? There are no rewards for completing. There are some new types of challenges that I haven't seen before. -mg

Oh I said the wrong thing. I mean I don't have the space race. I think when I reset the game a few weeks ago I lost my status to be in the group that gets these new things. I do have a new daily sticker thing that you get a sticker when you win a new level. One sticker a day and there is a chest at the end of six days. Support seems to be trying to help me get my buddy switch back ..... I have to keep sending screen shots of my buddy windows... but so far I can only get to move on when I get the next buddy challenge and like Luci said that is better than being totally stuck like she is. I agree on that and hoping Luci gets to play again soon. OC

I have a backpack, a spin dial, and a gold cup/urn grouped together on the right side of my screen. The gold cup has my space race and stocking information. The Candy Constellations is in with those. -mg

For a long time I've only been able to see the top fifth or so of the third square under the backpack and spinwheel. And I have to be really careful when I click it. Most times I end up opening the pop-up for the "new candy crush" instead. So I didn't know there was a gold cup there. But no candy constellations. Just the space race and the build a bot.

Do you have the daily sticker thing. It is in the same spot that you described mg. My screen is like Ditte's in that you can only see the top two items. I've had the space race before but I never got to the top of it. I think I had the constellations before too but didn't see much point in it. Big question is do you all still have the buddy switch?????? OC

I am back where I could look at my windows 10 version. I normally run the game in a reduced window on my computer screen. When I hit full screen, the third block with the gold cup did vanish, except the very top. Try reducing the screen to see the block clearly. I usually run with a tall and narrow screen when I am playing.

The "Candy Constellations" has already vanished. I did finish all the levels. There were 4 or 5 "constellations" that ran a percentage complete for each constellation. It took multiple levels within a constellation to complete, but it never showed how many levels. There was one constellation that had I think 16 dark/highlighted blocks underneath candies. I finally figured out that all of the blocks had to be highlighted at the same time to achieve the goal. They toggled on and off every time they were hit, so that you could go from needing 4 more to needing 8 more on one move if everything cascaded. I suspect we may see something like that in future levels. There were levels that required significant logic and very few moves to achieve the goal. I will say, I found the levels in Candy Constellation interesting.

Well now my Facebook game and Win 10 are at the same place 4357. Steadily making my way to the nasty level you have all been discussing. When I open the buddy at the end of the level I get to advance to the next level. OC

Stuck on 4361 for days and very frustrated; just cannot get one of the fruits to fall from the top loop. I got the wrapped packages and the pinata explosion. Although it cleared the waffles, the fruit remained stuck at the top. I have tried the tips here, but don't quite understand how to get the fruit to drop. I watched the video as well. JH

Oh NO Sleepless - you can't go!!!! What will we all do without your comments and tips????? Besides that you are the only one on the trail with me:) I'm stuck on the grizzly 4357 and have no hands or switches and the sugar pops for the last harvesting did not yield any. So, if they have limited the amount we get, then it will definitely make the game impossible. Hopefully, it was just an unlucky sugar pop round. You could cave in and buy the pig, Sleepless. I know we hate to give in to their cry out for our cash.... and I have said I'm not doing that again... but then that pig keeps looking at me.... hopefully I can be strong, and not give in to them. OC

you are right no glitch...but may be the hardest level in the game ...you have to hit the top candy ribbon 3 times so that candy can drop and push out the last fruit and then negotiate your way to the bottom exits..but all the fruit takes up too much space and leaves virtually no room for moves..took me 4 days..and depleted my coconut supply... this will be buffed before its actual release

Finally completed 4361. I guess I got lucky and the final candy dropped from the top loop. Once that happened, I used my one Party Pinata I had been saving to clear most of the other waffles. I was not able to hit the top candy ribbon 3 times. In the youtube video, the top candy ribbon was not hit 3 times either. JH

I am waiting at 4340 which is the top available to me. I am on popsicle planet and have been for ages but never seem to win. I am currently no.1 but with 15 hours still to go and invariably when it gets to the end it will tell me that someone has just beaten me and I finish in 2nd. S.

I got to 4370 too. I used 1 popper and three hammers to make it. Got a lucky board to free all the fruit. I had three hammers so I got a popper, used it and then had to use my hammers to finish it off. The rest was pretty easy after that but they took a number of tries since I was totally booster depleted. All took two color bombs and its such a pain to keep having to do 606 over and over again. There is no way to get that 4361 without a ton of boosters and for those who have a popper you have it made. Can't play again for about 36 hours when I get the buddy challenge. Going to sleep! OC

To an anon Jan 27 @ 23:15... King is fooling us all. I’m on popsicle planet as well & have been in the #1 position all week. My game shows 1:48 left to play. I have #4197 cb’s. The #2 spot “EK” has #1998 cb’s.

I play on iPad/iPhone. So perhaps different platforms have different leaders. The whole issue just feels like a scam

Wow 3 times and only playing less than 3 years. I’ve been playing almost 7 years spin every day and NEVER WON JACKPOT. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with how much you spend. I have decided that since the piggy bank is 30 bars less I’m not buy anymore. All of a sudden every level is impossible taking days to get through. Always thought it was rigged a bit but geez it’s so obvious! Anyone in charge reading this... I’ve read a bunch of posts about people leaving game for this reason, do you reallywant more!

I have played the space race for several weeks now and won each week as I can easily make thousands of CB. Sometimes I get an opponent who can make lots of cn as well: when that happens, I let them take the lead (not that interested to battle with them every day). On Monday am, about an hour before the end of the challenge, I make 5000 CBs in less tha qt minutes and win the challenge. I do it to get the UFO booster. It is not rigged.

To Anon @ 28 January 2019 at 05:18 - My suspicion is that the contests are broken up into random groups of 30 or so. The placement for the contest would only apply to that group you're in.

The placement can't be worldwide with millions if not hundreds of millions of players. I may be good but I'm not that good :). I've yet to meet anyone in the contest groups I've been in who knows how to legitimately rack up thousands of CBs in Space Race in a relatively short time.

Sleepless nothing seems strange here now.BTW I went back to 4361. There are only 2 ribbons on the top and 1 on bottom of the square. and the waffles are only 2 layer. Quite doable with a full stocking and coconut wheel.

Re: Ralph. Thx for chiming in on my post about space race. I totally agree there must be subsets of groups, just too many worldwide players to even consider that I could win.

I’m bummed, iPhone @ 4323, iPad stuck @ 4310. They were synced until 2 days ago. I’ve tried everything except logging into FB, which I don’t want to do. Been playing thru Kingdom which got them synced to begin with. Got quite a scare this morn following kings advice to logout/shut down device, that sent me back to level 1!! Luckily I somehow got back to 4310. Guess I have to do the buddy challenge and win 4311 so it will sync up again
